Five Pomarine Skuas close to the first buoy at DungenessSeawatching from Dungeness this spring has been very rewarding. The annual migration of Pomarine Skuas can be a hit and misss a fair, but good weather, good light, and a dollop of good luck has brought Pomarines reasonably close to shore. With high pressure and north - north easterly winds, the channel has a become a super-highway of birds moving North including Bar-tailed Godwit, Knot, Grey Plover, Common and Velvet Scoters, Whimbrel, Divers and Skuas.

love the Poms - wish they would come up the Humber a little more regularly
Hi Nick,
Good to meet you on Monday evening. Very nice blog and a great pom photo, I'm very envious and I need to get back to Dunge very soon. I managed a few OK shots that day - http://leedingain.blogspot.com/2011/05/wader-passage-at-dungeness.html.
Cheers,
